Quite honestly it's really tempting but I do have a concern. When I filled up today I paid $3.29/gallon for Super and Diesel was selling for $4.09. if diesel gets 30% better mileage but is 30% more money, where's the advantage??

Went to the car show today at the Javits center. Not as many green cars as you may think.
There was a lot of talk about diesels though. Mercedes, BMW and VW are all putting out some incredible spec numbers.
Now if there were more stations selling diesel....
Oh, and the SC (CS?) was twice as sweet when the BMW rep told me the new 7 would styled around it.
